"Silence!"
Kong shouted again. With the help of the phone bug, he drowned out all the noise in the hall, causing the scene to become quiet again. However, everyone's eyes were still fixed on Roger, moving with Roger's movements.
Ji Lingyun looked at Luo Jie with excitement. Even though he was about to step onto the execution platform, Luo Jie still had a relaxed expression. His face was full of smiles, and his footsteps were steady. He didn't look like someone who was about to be executed. He looked more like a king who had returned and was enjoying the welcome of everyone.
Roger was indeed very calm at this moment. He had long seen through life and death. When the crowd stared at him, he also glanced at the crowd from the corner of his eye. He saw Shanks and Baki hiding in the crowd, as well as a few youths who were staring at him with burning eyes. He also saw some familiar faces.
However, no matter who he saw, Roger's expression was always smiling. However, when he walked to the front and saw Ji Lingyun standing in front of the crowd, his eyes paused, and a flash of astonishment flashed across his face.
At his execution ceremony, Roger thought that many people would come, but he never thought that even Ji Lingyun would come. Why would White Beard let him come alone? However, although he was surprised, Luo Jie was still very pleased. He could see the reluctance in Ji Lingyun's eyes. Ji Lingyun could barely be considered half a disciple of his, but he was able to send him off on his last journey. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Ji Lingyun had been staring at Roger from the front to the back. He quietly watched Roger ascend the execution platform.
The moment Roger stepped onto the execution platform, the entire square fell into silence. Suddenly, a clap of thunder exploded in the sky.
Countless people stared at Roger, who was kneeling on the execution platform. The two executioners stood on his left and right with cold faces, but Roger was smiling, forming a sharp contrast with them. As the Navy Marshal Kong waved his hand, the execution was about to begin.
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd."Hey, One Piece King, where did you hide your treasures?”
As soon as he said this, the quiet square instantly became chaotic. More people followed suit and shouted.
"That's right, One Piece King. Since you're going to die anyway, why don't you tell me the location of your treasure?”
"One Piece King, you must have a lot of treasures, and you won't be able to use them anymore. Just treat it as doing a good deed before you die and hand them over to us.”
" One Piece King…"
Everyone in the square stared at Roger. In everyone's impression, as the Pirate King, he must have the world's number one treasure. As long as one could obtain the treasure of the Pirate King, it was a small matter to become rich overnight. Perhaps one could become the Pirate King like Roger.
All humans craved for treasures and power, not to mention the treasure of One Piece. In their opinion, since Roger was about to die, he might reveal his secret at the last moment.
Roger naturally wouldn't disappoint them. He had been waiting for this moment. Suddenly, he let out a wild laugh.
"Not good!"
This scene shocked the upper echelons of the navy. Kong quickly ordered Roger to be executed, but it was too late.
Roger laughed arrogantly. If you want it, I'll give it all to you. Go find it! I placed everything in the world there, as long as you can find it…"
"Boom!"
As soon as he said that, the entire square exploded. Everyone was in an uproar, and so were all the people watching the live broadcast. Although Roger didn't say it clearly, everyone understood that Roger really had the treasure.
"Haha, I'm going out to sea. I'm going to be a pirate. I'm going to find the treasure of the Pirate King!”
"I've had enough of this boring life. I want to go out to sea to search for treasure!”
"One Piece King, I will definitely find your treasure and replace your name as the new One Piece King. Haha…"
…………………………
Countless people shouted excitedly, as if they had found the treasure of the Pirate King.
Kong roared angrily," Bastard! Roger, you bastard! Execution! Execution!"”
Under Kong's furious roar, the two executioners raised their weapons with cold expressions and aimed them at Roger.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck down, and the first generation Pirate King finally died at the hands of an inconspicuous executioner. However, even after he died, a happy smile still hung on the corner of his mouth. He left this world with a smile.
The twin blades stabbed into Roger's body, and blood flowed all over the execution platform. However, Roger's body did not fall. One could vaguely see the satisfied smile on his face.
Yes, Ji Lingyun didn't know what kind of feelings he had when he left this world, but he was very sure that this was what Roger wanted. He seemed to have seen the future and saw hope.
"Uncle Roger!"
Ji Lingyun watched Roger die with his own eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't bear the suffocating feeling of death. He didn't want to die!
"Captain!"
Shanks and Baki, who were in the crowd, had tears streaming down their faces. There were also members of Roger's Pirates hiding in the dark. They had watched their captain die. The pain was not something that ordinary people could bear.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, followed by a heavy downpour. However, no matter how heavy the rain was, it could not hide everyone's excitement. Everyone was excited by Roger's last words before he died. Their excitement was in stark contrast to the sadness of Ji Lingyun and the others.
Ji Lingyun looked at the excited people around him and suddenly felt very sad. Roger died for these people?
No, he shook his head. Roger didn't die for anyone. He died for the whole world. He wanted to use his death to wake up the whole world, even if it was only to wake up a part of the people. That was enough.
" A new era is about to arrive. This is the era of One Piece. In the countless years to come, Uncle Roger will live in everyone's hearts. However, before that, let me light an even brighter torch for this era!”
Ji Lingyun's eyes emitted a dazzling light. His entire person was suddenly like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed.
